Dairy farmers rely on a skilled workforce to produce safe, nutritious food year-round. We are eager to work with the Trump Administration on common sense solutions to help secure a stable food supply and urge Congress to enact long-term legislation that addresses #dairy’s longstanding labor needs.

Today, I met with the National Milk Producers Federation @nmpf to discuss issues important to the Central Valley’s dairy industry, including school nutrition and accurate labeling of imitation dairy products.
Our dairy farmers help feed the nation and drive our local economy. I look forward to continuing to work with industry leaders to support our dairy farmers and strengthen the communities they sustain.

I just met with local representatives from @nmpf to discuss dairy production in the Central Valley. We spoke about the benefits of nutritious dairy products in schools and the importance of proper labeling on imitation dairy products. As the sole dairyman in Congress, these are topics I understand firsthand, and I look forward to continuing to my work to support our dairy farmers in Congress.

In the afternoon, we heard from @USTradeRep Julie Callahan, the top U.S. #agriculture #trade negotiator, who has logged more than 120,000 flight miles this year on behalf of America. Thank you for taking time from your travels to speak with us, Ambassador!

Thank you, @DepSecVaden, for your great update on what @USDA is doing to help #dairy at our board meeting. We appreciate the work on #NewWorldScrewworm, and you're right on #wholemilk: It's about time. (Your shout-out on flavored milk is noted.) NMPF's fly-in is tomorrow.

We’re proud to work with @CongressmanGT and @RepJoeCourtney to advance the bipartisan FRESH Act, helping schools expand access to milk so students can stay nourished, focused and ready to learn every day.
Fresh milk during school meals; cheers to that!
Students across our nation deserve access to milk. Not only is it delicious, but it's part of a well-rounded diet. I am proud to introduce the bipartisan FRESH Act, which supports our students, schools, and dairy farmers.

June is National Dairy Month!
Milk production is not just a profession for Georgia's hardworking dairy producers; it’s their way of life. This month, we raise a glass of cold milk to the dairy farm families who are dedicated to providing high-quality dairy products to America's communities! 🥛🐄

Kansas is one of the fastest-growing dairy states in the nation, producing nearly 5 billion pounds of milk in 2025. Happy National Dairy Month to the dedicated dairy farmers in Kansas who help feed our country and the world.

This June is National Dairy Month. Join me in celebrating the dairy industry across Central Washington which employs thousands of people while contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to our region’s economy. In the Yakima Valley, our dairymen were subjected to lawfare during the previous Administration, and I am actively working with the EPA and Administrator Zeldin to remedy their situation and #SaveOurDairies. Support your local dairy with a glass of milk or a bowl of ice cream this month.

Enjoyed talking with Heidi Zwinger, the executive director of the South Dakota Dairy Producers, about our continued work on the farm bill, including the SAFETY Act, which would help protect American food products from unfair trade practices.

Not only is whole milk refreshing and delicious to drink, but it's an essential building block for a well-rounded and balanced diet. On World Milk Day, I thank the hardworking dairy farmers across the Commonwealth for supporting our economy and local jobs, and for delivering milk to our homes.
From the farm to the breakfast table, milk plays an important role in feeding families across America. The House Committee on Agriculture is proud to support the dairy farmers who make it all possible. Cheers!
